  ABSTRACT: Introduction: All pregnant women are at risk of obstetric complications leading to high fetal-maternal mortality and morbidity. The aim of this work was to evaluate the maternal and fetal prognosis of evacuated parturients. Patient and Method: we conducted a prospective analytical survey for four months, from April 1st to July 31st, 2018 in the Maternity of N’Djamena Mother and Child Hospital about the maternal and fetal prognosis of evacuated parturients. Any parturient evacuated or referred for obstetric complications was included. Study parameters were epidemiological, clinical, para-clinical, therapeutic and prognosis order. These parameters were analyzed in the SPSS 18 French version software. Results: Evacuated parturients represented 20% of maternity admissions. The average age was 23.9 years, with extremes ranging from 15 and 43 years. They were uneducated in 72.9%, primiparous in 46.8% of cases. The three delays were dominated by the 1st delay, which represented 34.1% of cases. In this series, 26.3% parturients had presented obstetric complications. Preruptive syndrome was the most common complication with 29.3% cases. Predisposing factors to maternal-fetal complications were low attendance antenatal care, late evacuation and distance travelled. The maternal mortality rate was 3%. Fetal complications were observed in 28.3% of cases and the neonatal mortality rate was 24.6%. Conclusion: The maternal and fetal complications of evacuated parturients are a real public health problem in our regions. The suppression of delays, capacity reinforcement of peripheral maternity and the periodic recycling peripheral centers to recognize obstetric emergencies will contribute to improve the maternal and fetal prognosis of evacuated parturients.
